5.0 out of 5 stars A much poorer Al Jarreau at his 100% creativity peak, March 11, 2005

Dave van der Spank (Utrecht Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Glow (Audio CD)

"Why should I work at 100% when I sell only 10% of the records with it" Jarreau once asked himself. Still, we are lucky he once did, proven by records like "Glow".

The nicest track is the title song, which shows his most velvet style of jazz singing. "Aqua de Beber" adds some latin, "Hold on me" is a superb a-capella bit, and "Rainbow in your eyes", "Have you seen the child" and "Milwaukee" give the funk it's full space.

Unlike most of his later records this one is consistent, warm (even in Milwaukee), and made just for the sake of good music. His later records still feature highlights, though they are accompanied by loads of fillers. "Tenderness" is almost on par with this one though..

5.0 out of 5 stars Al doin' it right, September 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Glow (Audio CD)

A friend of mine turned me on to this album when it was one - wax, I mean. Back in high school we'd trade discoveries and when he hit me with this I was blown away. I rushed out and got "We Got By" and liked it just as much. Both of these albums are five stars as far as I'm concerned and completely blow away the later stuff that he did which turned in the direction of sappy, pop-oriented, "radio-friendly" pap. This album cooks, sways and grooves. A must. Go for that deal where you get both the above mentioned and you won't be disappointed

5.0 out of 5 stars the jazz side of a jerreau, October 29, 1998

By A Customer

This album represents the non-commercial Jazz oriented gems Mr. Jerreau can produce. Somebody's Watching You is a excellent recording where Mr. Jerreau's Scat shines through.
